A calculation of the diffusion cross section QD of hydrogen atoms in helium gas at low temperature is performed and compared with recent experimental results. The comparison allows an improved determination of the H–He potential. Calculations were done for three different potentials: our own empirical potential based on experimental high-energy scattering results and calculated long-range dispersion terms, which gives good results for QD and total collision cross sections; a recently determined semi-empirical potential, and an ab initio calculated potential. All three potentials imply a strong temperature dependence of QD for T < 1.5 K.

Spectroscopic properties of neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride were measured at different temperatures from 35 K to 350 K in specimens with 1 at% Nd3+ concentration. The absorption spectrum was measured at room temperature from 400 to 900 nm. The decay dynamics of the 4F3/2 multiplet was investigated by measuring the fluorescence lifetime as a function of the sample temperature, and the radiative decay time was derived by extrapolation to 0 K. The stimulated-emission cross-sections of the transitions from the 4F3/2 to the 4I9/2, 4I11/2, and 4I13/2 levels were obtained from the fluorescence spectrum measured at different temperatures, using the Aull–Jenssen technique. The results show consistency with most results previously published at room temperature, extending them over a broader range of temperatures. A semi-empirical formula for the magnitude of the stimulated-emission cross-section as a function of temperature in the 250 K to 350 K temperature range, is presented for the most intense transitions to the 4I11/2 and 4I13/2 levels.

Shell Ionization

Knowledge of inner-shell ionization cross sections by electron impact is needed for quantitative procedures in electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) The common practice is to use semi-empirical formulas, based on the asymptotic limit of the Bethe theory, which sometimes are used beyond their domain of validity. Experimental measurements of ionization cross sections are scarce and affected by considerable uncertainties, thus a mere comparison with experimental data does not permit to draw a definite conclusion abou the accuracy of the various formulas. In this communication, we present new measurements o the relative variation of K- and L-shell ionization cross sections deduced from the counting rate of characteristic x-rays emitted by extremely thin films of Cr, Ni, Cu, Te, Au and Bi bombardec by keV electrons.The studied films were produced by thermal evaporation on backing self-supported 30 nm carbon films.

A simplification of the second Born approximation due to Massey & Mohr is used to calculate the differential cross-sections for the elastic scattering of fast electrons and fast positrons by hydrogen atoms and helium atoms, the method of Dalitz being applied to evaluate all the relevant integrals. Although the logarithmic singularity which is found in the differential cross-section for zero-angle scattering is shown to be absent in the true second Born approximation the use of the simplification of this approximation is justified at sufficiently high impact energies provided the angle of scattering is not too small. The results of the calculations for incident electrons in helium are compared with the available experimental data.
